...life long term?

What about positive long term effects?

If shrooms screwed you up you were already screwed up. Shrooms just showed you your true self.

Not this again.

How old are you?

You never tried them?

What do you think you are missing?

What do you have to lose?

When it comes to these things you have to decide for yourself. If you flip out I wouldn't want it on my conscience.

I've seen people flip out but they get better. Eventually.

Last time I did shrooms was on a big day windsurfing at Doug's Beach in the Gorge with my friend Kim. As both the wind and the shrooms picked up steam we found ourselves getting increasingly overwhelmed and eventually both blew big jumps in close proximity to each other and just stayed down holding hands across our boards and floated down the river to Dougs West in order to chill some before finally paddling in and bailing.

I'm sure I am scarred for life by the incident never to recover (though it does seem like I should be posting this in the 'First World Problems' thread).

...who can't be bothered to read the science...

Was actually in microbiology at the time I was culturing them en masse and knew and know the science just fine, thank you. As stated by someone else here, anyone whose life was screwed up by shrooms was or was going to be screwed up with or without them (ditto acid or hallucinogen of your choice).

All my experiences were overwhelming positive, including climbing “Room to ‘shroom”. My long term friends will need to confirm the long term affects.

If the thunder don’t get you then the lightning will.

I try not to worry about it too much.

Some of us signal our virtue by worrying about other people signaling theirs. But you all signal your virtue however you like.

For me, other people pointing out other people’s tiresomeness is so tiresome. Not like my awesome third level tiresomeness seems to me.

Just go do what you do, you virtuous people. The rest of are going to, regardless. We might not be so different that way, despite how much we prefer approving of ourselves over other people.

I think that thought might be a holdover from the ‘shrooms, but I can’t remember.

I swear, its not me signalling my virtue. IT'S THE SHROOMS that are doing it.

I'm just along for the ride...

Putting my snide remarks aside, there have been some great stories and ideas on this subject posted before in several threads. The right search could probably turn up some real gems.

Exactly xCon! Most of my spawn started out as other people’s spawn, so I have trouble doing the math right, the way the virtuous folks do.

Happy shrooming!

Wayno, how’s winter treating you in Heaven’s Gate? Sadly, our friend is selling her place
and moving to Olympia. Yeah, I don’t get it, either.

Reilly, we had to winterize and finish up here in Seattle. Almost ready to list. It's like those last couple of pitches on a wall. The top is in site but I'm tired and thirsty and yes, cranky. See how easy it is ruffle when you're in the right mood?

When I'm done, I hope you are up for a visit.

Being a Bay Area boy, you gotta love Joe Montana. And weed too. Thanks for the link Tad.

We all know that marijuana is not a performance enhancing drug.

Unless you're a surfer.

I once asked a psycho bitch to move in with me while I was tripping on mushrooms, so I guess indirectly shrooms screwed up my life long term...

I remember driving across the Yolo Cause way, on the way over to the coast one morning with my girlfriend , when for a few moments I was in one place and the road was moving underneath me instead of the other way around.

We had a wonderful day checking out tide pools and looking for shell's on the beach. Drove home that afternoon and went out to a great salad bar with blueberry muffins.

I always thought they were great as long as you were in the right place with the right people.

Last time was around 85 or so. I might take a small dose if I ever get the chance again.. in the right place with the right people.

And yes, a freeway is probably not the right place.

A hippy girl sold me some shrooms in 1970. I'm still with her. We refer to that as a long term effect:-)

Maya and I spent two amazing days wandering around the Wonderland eating mushrooms and oranges. The two are a great pairing, as were we at the time. After that I started to take our relationship seriously. But one day she said “You know Kris, the problem is that when I look you in the eyes I can tell that you are not sane.”

Ouch.

Haven’t got into the schrooms since then.

I don't know him,
but John Paul Ziller had shrooms screw up his,
according to his author.

Despite the agents of crisis who dictate the drafting of this report, despite the spiraling zeitgeist that underscores its urgency, despite the worldwide moral structure that may hang in the balance, despite that, the writer of this document is no journalist, nor is he a scholar, and while he is quite aware of the potential historical importance of his words, still he is not likely to allow objectivity to nudge him off the pillar of his own perspective. And his perspective has as its central focus, the enormity of public events notwithstanding, the girl: the girl, Amanda.

"There are three things that I like,” Amanda exclaimed upon awakening from her first long trance. “These are: the butterfly, the cactus and the Infinite Goof."

Later, she amended the list to include mushrooms and motorcycles.

While strolling through her cactus gardens one warmish June morning, Amanda came upon an old Navajo man painting pictures in the sand.

“What is the function of the artist?” Amanda demanded of the talented trespasser.

“The function of the artist,” the Navajo answered, “is to provide what life does not.”

Amanda became pregnant during a fierce thunderstorm. “Was it the lightning or the lover?” she was sometimes heard to muse.

When her son was born with electrical eyes, people no longer thought her foolish.

Wearing a yellow velvet toga gathered at the waist with green scarabs, a garland of blue Japanese iris about her neck, her bubbling baby strapped to her back, Amanda would charge her motorcycle through the meadows searching for rare moths. One lingering afternoon in spring she chanced upon a small band of gypsies camped beneath a willow tree.

Suspecting them to be skilled in such arts, Amanda asked, “Will you not reveal to me something of the nature of my true being?”

“What will you do for us in return?” the gypsies asked.

Amanda lowered her long lashes and smiled sweetly. “I will suck you off,” she said.

It was agreed. After she had thoroughly pleased the four men and two girls, the gypsies told Amanda, “You are by nature a very curious woman,” and sent her on her way.
